Residents, do not leave pets unattended outside (which you should not be doing anyway) as coyotes, which have been seen in the area, can harm them!
Please pick up after your pet as soon as it “does its business!” Also, pets must be leashed at all times when outside.
The lawn maintenance season begins on 4/15 of each year and concludes on 11/15 of the same year. Unit Owners are responsible for watering their own trees, shrubs and lawn. They need one inch of water per week! Click here for watering instructions.
The snow removal season begins on 11/15 each year and ends on 4/15 of the following year. The snow removal company will begin removing snow after two consecutive inches of accumulation during a single snow storm. The snow removal company will repair turf damage caused by snow removal equipment at no charge to the Association.
Visitor parking is just for that – visitors! Unit owners are prohibited from using visitor parking as overflow parking for their own vehicles. The owners of vehicles that should not be parked there may be fined.
Please store your garbage and recycling containers inside your unit at all times other than the period beginning the evening prior to and ending on the evening of your scheduled pick-up.
Concrete is inspected annually. Settled concrete will be raised on an ongoing basis. Concrete that is severely cracked due to normal wear and tear will be replaced. Unit owners will receive a notice for all concrete replacements.
The carpentry program takes place in three phases. Call or email for this year’s phase.
Please note, ice control on private paved surfaces, such as driveways, entry sidewalks and stoops is the duty homeowners/residents. Please disconnect your garden hose (both outside and garage hoses are affected). A connected hose in freezing weather may result in cracked water pipes and flooding. A leak may not occur until the spigot is used the following season.
Plastic is not allowed on the exterior of windows. If you intend to put plastic on your windows this fall for added winter protection, the plastic must be on the interior of your window.
In addition, should you go on vacation during the winter, be sure to keep your furnace at a reasonable temperature setting. Failure to do so could result in frozen pipes, which could burst and flood your unit. Therefore, do not reduce the temperature setting to save on gas, because it may backfire and only add to your expenses due to the resulting property damage.
Concerning frozen pipes on those bitterly cold days, please keep your cabinet doors open so that air can circulate around the pipes. Also, allow the faucet to drip slowly so as to keep the water flowing through the pipes to prevent the pipes from freezing.
Finally, if you have a furnace humidifier, please be sure that the setting is kept at the appropriate level depending on the outside temperature. The colder the outside temperature, the lower the humidity setting must be. If that is not done, condensation will form on the inside of windows and in the dead space areas above the ceiling and in the walls. The resulting effect will be what appears to be a leak, but really is a condensation problem due to the warm air hitting the cold air and condensing into water. Some condensation leaks may become so bad as to appear to be pipes that have burst. They can cause severe drywall damage. Therefore, check your operator manual as to the proper setting in relation to the outside temperature.
Special Note: Please keep your pets leashed at all times and pick up after them when exercising them. Neighbors have been increasingly complaining as have maintenance crews about excessive accumulations of pet waste. Therefore, the association will have no choice but to issue formal complaints against unit owners who violate the city ordinance and association rules. If found guilty, fines will be levied against the responsible unit owners.
Have a safe season!
